1.1 RADIO AND TV INTERFERENCE
The Model 2156 or 2157 generate and use radio frequency energy, and
if not installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions—may cause interference to radio and television reception. The Models 2156 and 2157 have been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance
with specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are
designed to provide reasonable protection from such interference in a
commercial installation. Ho wever , there is no guar antee that interf erence
will not occur in a particular installation. If the Model 2156 or 2157 does
cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by disconnecting the unit, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures: moving the
computing equipment away from the receiver, re-orienting the receiving
antenna and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a different AC outlet (such that the computing equipment and receiver are on different
branches).
1.2 CE NOTICE
The CE symbol on your Patton Electronics equipment indicates that it is
in compliance with the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) directive
and the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) of the European Union (EU). A Certificate of Compliance is available by contacting Technical Support.

1.3 FCC PART 68
The Models 2156 and 2157 are not intended to be connected to the public telephone network.
Caution
1. You are required to request service from the telephone company before
you connect the Model 2156 or 2157 to a network. When you request
service, you must provide the telephone company with the f ollowing
data.
— The required Universal Service Order code (USOC) jack: RJ-11C
— The make, model number, Ringer Equivalence Number (REN),
and FCC Registration number of the Model 2156 or 2157.
The REN helps you determine the number of devices you can connect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring
when your number is called. In most, but not all, areas, the sum of
the RENs of all devices should not exceed fiv e (5.0). To be certain of
the number of devices you can connect to your line, you should call
your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN.

2. Your telephone company may make changes to its facilities, equip-
ment, operations, or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your equipment. The telephone company will notify in
advance of such changes to give you an opportunity to maintain
uninterrupted telephone service.
3. If your Model 2156 or 2157 causes harm to the telephone network,
the telephone company may temporarily discontinue your service. If
possible, they will notify you in advance, but if advance notice is not
practical, you will be notified as soon as possible and will be
informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
4. If you experience trouble with the Model 2156 or 2157, contact Pat-
ton Electronics Company for service or repairs. Repairs should be
performed only by Patton Electronics Co.
5. You are required to notify the telephone company when you discon-
nect the Model 2156 or 2157 from the network.

2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Electronics CopperLink Ethernet Extenders provide highspeed LAN connections between peered Ethernet LANs, remote PCs, or
any other network enabled 10/100Base-T device.
Operating in pairs, a Model 2156 or 2157 can automatically forward LAN
broadcasts, multicasts, and frames across a 2-wire v oice-g r ade twistedpair link. The data is passed transparently (unmodified) through the Ethernet Extenders. They automatically add and delete MAC addresses, only
passing packets across the CopperLink line that are meant for the remote
peered LAN.

Figure 1.
Typical application
The 2157/L and 2157/R work together to create a transparent extension
between two peered Ethernet LANs. Figure 1 shows a typical point-topoint application.

3.0 INSTALLATION
Because the CopperLink Ethernet Extenders require no configuration, they
can be installed quickly. Installation consists of the following:
• Connect the line interface between the units (refer to section 3.1,
“Connecting the Twisted-Pair Line Interface” on page 8)
Note
See Figure 2 for the rear-panel connectors locations.
• Connect the Ethernet interface (refer to section 3.2, “Line Interface—
Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet Interface” on page 9).
• Connect the power plug (refer to section 3.3, “Connecting Power” on
page 11).

3.1 CONNECTING THE TWISTED-PAIR LINE INTERFACE
The Models 2156 and 2157 support communication between two peer
Ethernet LAN sites over a distance greater than 30,000 ft (9,144 m) over
24 AWG (0.5 mm) twisted-pair wire.
Note
The Models 2156 and 2157 use an auto-rate adaption feature to
provide the fastest data rate possible o v er the wire and distance
of each Ethernet extension. The actual distance and rate
achieved for Ethernet extension may vary depending on the
environment and type/gauge of the wire used.
8
Follow the steps below to connect the CopperLink interfaces.
Note
The Model 2156 or 2157 units work in pairs. One of the units
must be a Model 2156/L (local) or 2157/L, and the other unit
must be a Model 2156/R (remote) or 2157/R.
1. To function properly, the two Ethernet Extenders must be connected
together using twisted-pair, unconditioned, dry, metal wire, between
19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm). Leased circuits that run through
signal equalization equipment are not acceptable.
2. The Models 2156 and 2157 are equipped with an RJ-11 interface.
The CopperLink interfaces are a two-wire interface. Observe the signal/pin relationships on the CopperLink interface jack.
The RJ-11 connector on the CopperLink Ethernet Extender’s twisted pair
interface is polarity insensitive and is wired for a two-wire interface. The
signal/pin relationship is shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3.
CopperLink Ethernet Extender (RJ-11) twisted pair line interface.
3.2 LINE INTERFACE—CONNECTING THE 10/100BASE-T
ETHERNET INTERFACE
The shielded RJ-45 port labeled
Ethernet
is the 10/100Base-T interface.
This port is designed to connect directly to a 10/100Base-T network.
Figure 4 shows the signal/pin relationships on this interface. You may
connect this port to another Ethernet device via a Type 4 or Type 5 cable
that is up to 328 ft (100 m) long.
Connecting the 10/100Base-T Ethernet Port to a Hub or PC
The Models 2156 and 2157 are equipped with an MDI-X switch that
enables connections to a hub (DCE) or PC (DTE) interface, thereby
elimininating confusion over whether a straight-through or crossover
cable is needed.
When using a straight-through cable for connecting to a hub, the MDI-X
switch should be in its released (DCE mode) position (see Figure 5).
When connecting to a PC, the MDI-X switch should be pushed in to
engage the crossover function so you won’t ha ve to use a crosso ver cab le

Figure 5.
Note
If you have difficulty achieving a working connection between
the CopperLink Ethernet Extender’s Ethernet port and the hub
or PC, change the position of the MDI-X switch and try again.
MDI-X switch positions
In its released position, the MDI-X switch enables straight-through connections (see Figure 6) or in its inserted position the MDI-X switch performs the crossover function (see Figure 7 on page 11).

4.0 OPERATION
Once the CopperLink Ethernet Extenders are properly installed, they
should operate transparently. No user settings required. This section
describes reading the LED status monitors.
4.1 FRONT PANEL LED STATUS MONITORS
